DLD - 6/19/09 - Webcomics, Movies, and Baseball. These are a few of my favorite things.



I guess I can throw up another DLD.  Wow, two this week, that is a record for me.

Star-divide

I did not get this webcomic at all.  I had to go to the forums to read the explanation.

Apocalypse

via imgs.xkcd.com

 

So how many people got the joke without google?

 

 

 Here is another weird little webcomic.

Movies.com Buzz Bin

They are making a movie adaptation of The A-Team, I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Holliday Is Trade Bait (Duh) and other stuff - From Jason Stark 

"That guy is not accepting arbitration," one of those officials said, adamantly. "Why would he accept arbitration to play in a place that hasn't been friendly to him offensively? If he accepts, he might get $16-17 million in arbitration. But if there was a team out there willing to give him $13-14 million, even on a one-year deal, in a better hitters' park, I'd be willing to bet that Scott would say, 'If we're going to do a one-year deal, we won't do it in Oakland.'"

• On Vladimir Guerrero: "Terrible. He just looks awful. It doesn't look like he has any focus, any energy. In BP, he's still smoking balls. But in the games, he's chasing all over the place. I don't know where this guy's at. You just wonder if something's really on his mind."

 

Injuries of the week

• Phillies reliever Scott Eyre strained a calf muscle running in from the bullpen to pitch, and wound up on the disabled list.

 

• Royals reliever Kyle Farnsworth needed stitches on his nonpitching hand because he got scratched trying to break up a woof-off between his two bulldogs.

Nomar needs to be put down, having calf trouble again.

As for Vlad – he’d be scary good if he had any plate discipline. I’ve not seen him lately, but by the sound of it old father time is catching up to him.

So, activate Buck, DL Nomar (or he retires?), keep Barton on the 25-man roster?

Nice of you to pick up the slacke(rs), micdog2001

Simmons calls 1988-92 the “Golden Age of Baseball” (it was for the A’s):

And remember this: Game 3 of the 1989 World Series was postponed by a frightening earthquake just after batting practice. One of the Bay Area’s deadliest quakes in years interrupting the only Bay Area World Series ever? The odds are unfathomable. On the other hand, can you think of a more logical time for a natural disaster to hit than the purest era in baseball history? I rest my case.

Simmons mentioning another team baseball team other than the Red Sox? Must be cold in Hell today.

I clicked on that link

without reading all of your comment (the bottom of the browser cut off your last line). I read it, saw the hideous picture, and thought, “WTH? 67M should know better than to send anyone over here without a warning.”

And when I came back here and read the rest of your comment…I see that you had.

I’ll never doubt you again!

(Although IMHO when you’re talking about the 88-92 A’s, “Simmons” means this guy).

I miss Lon so much

He was the best I’ve heard at making a terrible game listenable. Of course, calling games from 82-85, he had a lot of practice….

And he was a great PXP announcer — efficient, clear, dramatic, and of course a great voice. I loved the inning he spent with Ray and Glenn in the LA series.

What ticked me off though

is that he picks a 5 year window. A team is in 3 of the WS at the time, and the only near positive thing he mentions is the earthquake.

He has like a paragraph about the Twins and the one good year they had in the span, but still we get no love. (I know I am being paranoid but its Friday and I am ready to start the weekend…)

That is weird.
Darrell Evans topped 20 homers just once from 1976 to 1984; then, at age 38, he belted 40. Is that less strange than Brady Anderson’s famous 50?

Look at the 38 yr old Brian Giles

by micdog2001 on Jun 19, 2009 11:21 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, I think it's actually is a lot less strange

FIrst, Evans had hit 41 HRs with the Braves in 1973. Then, in the middle of 1976, he got traded to the Giants. He played for SF through 1983. The Stick was a terrible, terrible hitter’s park. He signed with the Tigers, had one bad season, then caught fire and hit his 40.

So it’s weird, but Evans was an established power hitter whose numbers had been held down by his home park for years. A LH pull hitter going from Candlestick to Tiger’s Stadium is going to start hitting more homers.

Brady Anderson played about 15 years in the majors. Nearly 1/4 of his career HRs were in 1996. That’s weird.

41 is a lot more than 20.

2 years before he hit 40 in Detroit

Evans hit 30 HR, 29 2B, and 3 3B in SF. The year he hit 40 HRs for the Tigers, he hit 17 2Bs and no 3B. So his EXH numbers actually went down from two years before. He was old to be leading the league in HR for the first time, but if Simmons thinks it was shocking that Evans hit 40 HRs, he’s easily shocked.

Darrell Evans was a tremendous player — very good defensive 3B, tons of walks, and good power, and he rarely hit into DPs. There are guys in the Hall of Fame who had worse careers than Darrell Evans. Oddly, Dwight Evans, who played at the same time as Darrell (but who isn’t related), had a similar kind of career, except he had the advantage of playing in a great hitter’s park during his prime.

That leaves a five-year period, 1988-1992, that now seems Jonas-level pure, after the fact.

Not all teams do actual circling, but

most teams have some sort of goofy gimmick for the TV broadcasters. And since the fans in the stands are mostly people who watch the TV coverage regularly, they know all about it and play for the camera.

At Safeco, it’s the “rally fries”. The TV announcers will pick out a winner from the stands, and the reporter-in-the-stands will go bring them a dish of fries. Personally, I think this is by far the lamest thing about Safeco TV coverage, but the regulars get very excited about it and go to ridiculous lengths trying to win the fries. Typical winning strategies are just what you’d expect: cute kids, hot chicks, outrageous costumes, or clever (and/or butt-kissing) signs.

I didn't get it either, but I'm not too lazy to google.

Do I have to spell it out for you, or will you be satisfied with a link?

For what it’s worth, I still don’t think the comic is funny, and I’m probably closer to math geekdom than the average person. Maybe it’s funnier if you’re actually living in the academic world. (Or maybe I’m just a humorless old curmudgeon.)

On the other hand, the baseball-related sentence at the very end of the Wiki article is funny, though you’ll have to read the whole thing to appreciate it.

I love the Stark article.

Another quote on Holliday from further up:

The A’s continue to send signals that suggest they don’t have to trade this man. But as an official of one club observed, “Didn’t they trade for him with this in mind?” And of course, that’s exactly why they traded for him, assuming he didn’t propel them toward October.

When the A’s acquired Holliday, so many here said that must prove the A’s were “going for it” in 2009, because, after all, why else would you trade for him?

Maybe the answer is that Beane figured the price, though not small, was reasonable enough that he has a good chance to get an equivalent or better amount when he trades him away in the summer. It’s a gamble, of course, that the return package might turn out to be a downgrade, but it might be an upgrade, too. So if it looks like on average you’re likely to come out ahead, it’s a good play to make the trade, regardless of whether you’re “going for it”. Even if you just break even, you still got to have a good player on the team for three months.

Other fun facts in the sidebar, where Stark tallies up what he calls “criminally unsupported starts”.

To qualify, a pitcher needs to work at least six innings and have his team score no more than one run for him while he’s in the game.

The AL list is topped by four pitchers who have each had five such starts so far this year. Guess what team two of those four guys play for.

iglew, you call that analysis?

Looking at your piece, “Recommended.” I’m left to wonder if you even read Leopold Bloom’s “You know,”. LB’s review of the review of the review of the review of the movie Transformers 2 is widely considered to be the best review of a review of a review of a review in the modern blogosphere. Yet all you manage to say about it is “I especially like [it]”. Were I an uninformed reader considering reading “You know,” and turned to your comment for guidance, I would have learned nothing of the contents of LB’s work.

Please flesh out your review of the review of the review of the review of the review with more details. Look at the personality he is able to express with a semi-casual tone. Note the carefully constructed flow of LB’s comment. Discuss the placement of the rarely used term “shoddy”; LB placed it in a short sentence to maximize the shock value when seeing the word used. This is especially effective after starting the reader off with two longer, drier sentences penned in the classical parody format. It is a heartbreaking work of staggering genius and deserves a better review than “I liked it”.
